    Saw a couple of plays from the Bears I was going to post but it was already gameday, Tytus playing pattycake and allowing the DE to knock down a pass that almost got picked. Today, one got picked. Thought it would be Ca$hman but Hill did the honors.
    Stunna's collapsing the interior line or if they don't, they're batting down everything.

    When you're talking about an OL he's not wrong. It's the closest thing in sports, chemistry-wise, to a starting 5 in basketball.

    I'm in no way downplaying his role in today's craptastophe.

    im sick of “winning the division”. I want more. And I don’t want to be lucky and have it handed to them. The Texans need to play better and act like a top 5 team. Balls need to drop next game and stay dropped for the rest of the year. They’re too good on paper.

    2-1 with a -19 point-diff

    Texans look like pretenders.

    No idea how healthy Scruggs was today, but he was not good.

    Also...the minute you, an OL, see a DL put his hands up you hit him in the gut with a palm-thrust. Can't keep your hands up when that happens

    In the NFL, you as team got to make sure to not give the refs an excuse to dictate the game. If you lose, you lose, but you lose to the team in front of you. Don’t make the refs another obstacle against you on game day. That means you have to be disciplined as a team and can’t do stupid mistakes and penalties. Let the play on the field be the final decision maker.

    I agree, but I do have faith in us being better than last year this postseason. Like you said, we are too good on paper.

    I'm going to start calling the Texans the "Houston Third and Longs".

    It's funny in a sadistic way I guess. I didn't drink these past 3 games but headed to the store for some cervezas after today's game. It's too early for my typical Guinness Draught, so I settled for Coronas.

    "We were too slow. We need to be quicker."
    Like last year vs Carolina, Coleridge is trying to tell Slowik something.

    In the first two weeks, the team didn't look good, but they were going against teams that didn't have QB's. Apparently they didn't fix anything so they got smashed by the first competent team they faced.

    They need to come out and win the next game by 40 to show they are righting the ship.

    Well, they do play the Jags. So maybe, lol. But after today, I'm pretty down on this team right now. This game should not have been a blowout like it was. I hope it wakes their asses up.
